Mississippi - South

Of all the places you can take a cruise, south Mississippi may be one of the best kept secrets - there's the river, the Gulf Coast and hundreds of relaxing roads you can go sailing down. The low coastal area is riddled with estuaries and waterways.

This historic area is filled with beautiful antebellum homes and other remnants of the Civil War. There are thirty-three (33) hospitals in the southern region of the state. The high temperatures during winter reach into the 60s, with lows in the 40s. Summer highs rise into the mid-90s with lows falling into the 70s.

The Mississippi Office of Rural Health and Primary Care has been designated to serve as a State Contact and clearinghouse for the J-1 Visa Waiver Programs. Mississippi J-1 Visa Waiver Policies and Procedures for the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and State 30 Program are available.

The MORHPC will administer the programs in a fair and consistent manner, as well as provide technical assistance to all interested in developing either the site predetermination or actual application for placement of a foreign-trained J-1 Visa Waiver provider.
